COOKING AS A GROUP BUILDS CONNECTIONSCorporates pick Masala Dosa for team-building for the intimacy of the venue and because cooking traditional food and sharing the result is an experience that brings teams together. For visitors to Cape Town and tour groups, it's also because of the centrality of the location.

Long Street is a cultural melting pot, and such an electric environment for forming bonds. “When people eat together, they talk, laugh, enjoy, and learn from the experiences and knowledge of others,” says head chef Riyaz, who can also customise the experience to fit your business and budget.
